Christmas Pick: Emmanuel (Hallowed Manger Ground) – Chris Tomlin
This beautiful song became a favorite of mine last Christmas, and I’ve found myself singing it throughout the year – now that it’s actually Christmastime I have an excuse to post it. From Chris Tomlin’s first Christmas album, Glory in the Highest: Christmas Songs of Worship.
Lyrics
What hope we hold this starlit night
A King is born in Bethlehem
Our journey long, we seek the light
That leads to the hallowed manger ground
What fear we felt in the silent age
Four-hundred years can He be found
But broken by a baby’s cry
Rejoice in the hallowed manger ground
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
God incarnate, here to dwell
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Praise His name Emmanuel
The son of God, here born to bleed
A crown of thorns would pierce His brow
And we beheld this offering
Exalted now the King of kings
Praise God for the hallowed manger ground
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
God incarnate, here to dwell
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Praise His name Emmanuel
Oh, praise His name Emmanuel
Oh, praise His name Emmanuel
